Local News in Brief : Plan to Spare Fair Site
- Share via
Organizers of the Renaissance Pleasure Faire are counting on a new plan to save its Agoura site from becoming a housing tract.
Under the plan, the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy and the National Park Service each would put up a third of the $14 million the landowner wants for the 314-acre property. The Historic Oaks Foundation, a group formed by Pleasure Faire employees and supporters, would raise the other $4.6 million.
Kevin Patterson, the foundation president, said he is confident the plan will draw enough donations from corporations and foundations to save the land--which is transformed for six weekends annually into an Elizabethan English village--although the foundation has raised only about $25,000 in a year of campaigning.
